Chapter 434: Dark Tree Man
Although the body of the tree is limited by the initiation plant, it is different, but there is a harmony in it, at least the other humanoids see it, and do not feel discordant.
This situation is obviously not suitable for this group of treemen, they are seriously uncoordinated, not only the branches are dark, but the appearance is also extremely distorted, either many hands or many feet, there is a tree man's body, there are two faces, one is an old tree man, the other is a human woman, it is appropriate to call them dark tree people.
The total number of the three activated plants is nearly hundreds.
Behind them was a group of human knights, swords in one hand and torches in the other.
The cavalry at the head was not riding a war horse, but a razor boar that was stronger than a bull, and it was definitely majestic and majestic among humans, but it was obviously a bit inadequate in front of these activated plants.
This person is none other than Nora, Zalanda's number one warrior.
Gavin instigated the half-moon foal to meet him from afar, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't there be any trouble along the way?" ”
"Nope." Nora took off her helmet, revealing a beautiful face that didn't match her huge body, and shook her head, "They are all very cooperative, especially those dark tree people, who are firmly on our side and help us manage the other two activated plants, not one of them escaped, eighty-nine when they set off, and now they are still ninety-five, and six of them are on the way, and they have taken the initiative to join us." ”
The living plants that Nora had brought over were captured by the corrupt army that had previously followed the Root of the Gods.
After all, Moando's favored servants were only a few, and most of them were still tormented by the festering plague and forcibly driven.
Whether it's a stumbling or a tentacle vine, although they look a little ugly, in essence, they are just neutral living plants like those hunters such as tigers and black bears, and they are not inherently evil.
When the first evil that drove them to be slain, they basically had no desire to resist, and all of them were captured by Zalanda's troops.
If they don't have corrupt diseases on them, Zalanda will definitely keep them and integrate them into his army to use as a special class.
She had tasted the sweetness now, less than ten Enlightenment Trees had helped her a lot, and with a hundred large Activated Plants joining her, she could do even more.
And now, all she could do was send them to Gavin, heal them with the freshly restarted Misnoel Purification, and then think about using them when the time comes.
"Normal, if they want to cure their corrupt diseases as soon as possible, they have to come to me honestly." Gavin looked like he was right-on-place.
Of the three types of activated plants, two are intelligent, and the Dark Tree People have the highest intelligence, with an average value far exceeding that of ordinary humans.
Creeps are a little lower, about the same as kobolds, not too smart, but good enough to understand most things.
The lowest is the tentacle magic vine, that is, similar to the more intelligent beast hunters, it is difficult for humans to communicate with them, and with the help of those dark tree people with intelligence, it is undoubtedly much easier.
Before they hit the road, Gavin had already met with the Dark Treants and made a basic agreement to use purification and healing as a temptation to get them to come.
The cavalry led by Nora is more suitable for surveillance than escort, after all, the strength is there, and once these nearly 100 activated plants go berserk, the combat power that bursts out can easily destroy an army of tens of thousands of people, especially in the dense forest.
Nora hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Ever since I entered Mill Forest, I always felt like we had a tail behind us, following us all the way, and this feeling didn't disappear until we got closer to here. ”
"Your feeling is not wrong, it is the drow elves' ranger sentinels, they are trying to isolate and blockade Misnoel, you are too many people, they dare not touch you, if you are alone, they would have attacked you a long time ago." Gavin confirms that Nora's feelings are not delusions.
"I've heard for a long time that there are drow elves in the Mill Forest, but I didn't expect them to be so bold as to commit murder here!" Nora frowned, Drow was not a good neighbor.
Especially in the dense forest, Tessel's army has no advantage over the Drow elves.
"When the forces of good are weakened, evil rises up." Gavin said helplessly, "Our secret war with them has just begun, and we will have a headache in the future." ”
Compared to the drow elves, the Sambian merchants who used to think that they were doing their work were all good people.
This group of Viren believers will not do anything with you at all, and use their ability to be good at stealth to circle around Snowel, and wreak havoc at every opportunity.
They can't do anything with the locks, so they take those residents, whether they are birds or animals, as long as they are alone, they are likely to be hunted by them.
Many of the people who had tried to take refuge in Misty Snow were killed on the last journey.
This was done both to deter them from coming to Snøel, and to demonstrate in retaliation against Gavin.
If the Goliaths were organized to go out and fight back, they would immediately escape into the darkness and slip away, not fighting head-on at all, and Gavin, who hated itchy, had itchy teeth, and there was no good solution for a while.
"The best way to deal with forest guerrilla tactics is to organize stronger, more elite squads and engage them in guerrilla tactics." Nora helped Gavin with the idea.
Forest guerrilla tactics are not unique to the Drow Elves, but are good at all natural races, especially the Elves.
On the plains, the elves certainly couldn't stand up to the human cavalry.
When they arrived in the forest, the human cavalry would be helpless with the elves, and they would only make themselves nutrients for the forest.
As for setting fire to the forest, even the stupidest human lord can't do it, or dare not—if he does, he'll have to face the wrath of the gods of nature.
"I don't know, but I don't have such an elite in my hands." Gavin helplessly spread his hands.
Although there are many natural races under his command, none of them are good at fighting.
Well, how did you forget about them?
Gavin had a flash of inspiration and thought of a suitable force - the Virginia Lord's Yaling Guard.
The Dragon Oak Mother Tree is about to be upgraded and closed, and I have to negotiate with the Lord of Virginia to see if I can borrow a Yaling guerrilla from her to help fight against the Drow Elves of Mill Forest.
"Honorable lord, we have come according to the agreement, and I ask you to fulfill your promise to remove the evil existence from me, and I will guard the door for the lord forever afterwards." A dark treeman walked up to Gavin and said.
This Dark Treant is the lightest, the most special, and the most powerful of all the Dark Treants.
He has two pairs of arms.
One pair of arms is a normal treant arm, and the other pair is a human female arm.
If these two pairs of arms are separated, they can be called beautiful, especially the pair of human female arms, smooth and slender, exuding a luster and luster, this is not a simple maintenance problem, but it belongs to the natural beauty, but if two pairs of completely different arms are concentrated in a tree man, it is extremely weird.
In addition to the extra arms, there is also a female face on his tree, which is also extremely beautiful, especially in the bright amber eyes, which seem to be able to see his reflection in them.
But in this case, the more beautiful it is, the more serious the sense of disobedience.
When Gavin's gaze fell on the female face embedded in the tree, the face suddenly began to struggle in pain, and the human female arms began to swing uncontrollably, "Help me...... Save me...... Help me...... I don't want to die......"
As he spoke, his eyes glowed uncontrollably with magical aura.
The Dark Treant immediately raised his broad hand to cover the woman's face.
Because that's a precursor to a spell that charms humanity.
"Okay." Gavin readily agreed, "The particularity of your situation, I don't need to say more, I have studied it carefully afterwards, I will try my best to separate the two of you, but the success rate is really hard to say, once you fail, you must face a choice, that is, the two consciousnesses can only protect one, which one do you want to keep?" ”
This Dark Treant is special in that before he was transformed into a Treant, he was not an ordinary oak tree, but an oak tree that lived in symbiosis with a tree spirit.
The oak tree parasitized by the tree spirit is normally unable to be enlightened, this is the law of nature, just like those magic beasts cannot be enlightened, at least the druids below the legend are not capable of enlightenment, and Faeron does not have a precedent for the oak tree parasitized by the tree spirit to be enlightened.
But the god of decay and decay, Moando, is a terrifying existence that breaks the conventions of nature, and it uses its corrupt power to forcibly activate and enlighten the oak tree of a tree spirit.
This kind of enlightenment is obviously not normal, but rather merges flesh and blood with trees, sacrificing the freedom and soul consciousness of the dryads.
But the problem is that this fusion is incomplete, the oak tree itself awakens consciousness, while the consciousness of the tree spirit is not completely erased, resulting in two relatively independent consciousnesses in a body, just like the dual personality patient, from time to time self-conflict and fall into chaos.
And this is what Moandor, the god of decay and depravity, likes to see, and he expects the Dark Tree People to slowly fall into despair and fall because of this chaos.
"If that's the case, Paulola." The Dark Tree Man said without hesitation.
Although she had just been born and enlightened, her relationship with the symbiotic dryads had been going on for hundreds of years.
Although it is motionless, it is able to share the joys, sorrows, and pains of Lola's every day.
Her memories are all about Lola, or her continuation, Lola is gone, and the meaning of her existence is naturally gone.
"Pauline please...... She had just been born...... You should go out and see it...... With my share of ......" The tree spirit embedded in the Dark Treant reacted, struggling, his expression became hideous, but the words he said were extremely firm.
The tree spirit and his oak tree have feelings that ordinary people can't understand.
Although the dryad can change the symbiotic oak tree through magical rituals, few dryads do so unless she is forced or forced to do so, because she can't let go of this feeling.
"You still have time to think about this problem, this is just the worst plan, the specific situation, we still need to see the specific development." Gavin pointed at the mysterious lock that was obsessed with Snoel, "From now on, you will take root in the periphery of the mysterious lock, and I will prescribe the right medicine according to your situation, and when I am completely sure that there are no remnants of Moandor's pet servants among you, I will naturally consider letting you enter the mysterious Noel." ”
These activated plants are different from the ones that came to me before.
They were all once manipulated by the Root of the Gods or Moandor's pets, and the uncertainty was too great, and their strength was too strong, so it was not a wise choice to rush into the Misty Noel without completely purifying them.
It's better to put it directly outside the maze lock and use it as the first line of defense for the misty snow.
The outside of the lock also has the ability to purify, but the effect is far less than that inside the city.
